Question 5: WomanTalk Live 5: What needs to be said bigger, louder, stronger?

Day 26 of 100 Days of Blogging

I had the opportunity to answer 5 provocative questions asked by Ann Quasman host of WomanTalk Live Radio Show. The description of Ann's shows on her website:

A More Conscious Conversation

We don’t know about you, but we’ve had enough of the fluff.
Enough of the kind of topics that only skim the surface of who we are as women.
We want to go deeper.
We want to talk about topics and issues that support and inspire us.
We want to have conversations that make a difference – in our own lives and in the lives of other women. Everywhere.
We want to get involved, and we want to evolve.
We want a more conscious conversation.
So, enough of the fluff. Let’s start talking.


The 5th question Ann asked me:

What needs to be said bigger, louder, stronger? 

My Answer: "In Heal My Voice, we are calling out to every woman to share her VOICE. It means being vulnerable. It takes courage and we are doing this together. Every time a woman shares her story, her journey, the things that she has hidden because of trauma, shame, grief or loss, she gives another woman permission to do the same. Marianne Williamson said this in 1997 in her book, Return to Love, and it is still true. If I take a risk, be vulnerable and share my VOICE, it creates a pathway for you to share yours. YOUR VOICE MATTERS!"

How would you answer this question? What do you think needs to be said bigger, louder, stronger?
